Recently Completed Stormwater Projects

Garfield Street Drainage
Construction of two detention ponds providing treatment of neighborhood stormwater runoff in an area where direct discharge to Eau Gallie River previously existed. 

Dove Street Pond
Construction of a 2.5 acre dual-stage stormwater detention facility providing flood control and water quality benefits. 

Baffle Boxes – Installation at Yacht Basin & Stewart
Water quality improvement through sediment reduction. 

Wickham Park Pond Construction
City contributed to county project.  Creation of two ponds. Water quality project treating water from the Parkway and Croton systems. Some flood control is also being provided to these areas. 

South Melbourne & Crane Creek Drainage Basin Flooding/Water Quality Study
Analyzed existing system’s ability to convey stormwater by computer simulation. Identified problem areas and recommended flood reduction improvements. Pollutant loading computer model identified potential water quality improvements. Detailed analysis of the cost effectiveness of each recommended improvement project. 

 

Underway

Sarno Road/Bell Street Drainage Improvements
The scope of work includes the removal of approximately 400 l.f. of deteriorated 48" diameter metal storm drain and replacement of same with reinforced concrete pipe. Additionally, 125 l.f. of metal storm drain pipe under Sarno Road will be rehabilitated by the insertion of a cure-in-place polyethylene liner. The resulting work will reduce street flooding conditions within the Ixora Park Subdivision.

Swift Street Stormwater Improvements
Provide flood control by enhancing drainage existing system, includes pipe replacement and lining.

Stormwater Master Plan Master
A stormwater master plan for the entire Crane Creek drainage basin, including the Hickory Ditch sub-basin, has been completed to address flood control and water quality issues in this area of District 5. This study was jointly funded by St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD), City of Melbourne and Brevard County. This area in South Brevard County includes the cities of Melbourne and West Melbourne as well as unincorporated Brevard County. The master plan is being used to identify local flooding areas and possible solutions, identify possible best management practices (BMPs) to improve water quality into the Indian River Lagoon and identify possibilities available to increase recharge to the superficial aquifer underlying the watershed.
 
 
   

Upcoming

Eber Road Widening & Babcock Street Realignment
Retrofit roadway and nearby development for stormwater drainage and treatment improvements.

Charles Drive
Upgrade of stormwater outfalls along Charles Drive/Almar Subdivision. When complete, will provide flood control and treatment by replacing existing pipe system and construction of detention pond. 

Sherwood Drive Replacement Stormwater Pipe
When complete, reduction of ditch erosion.

Stabilize Hickory Ditch
Water quality project to stabilize ditch resulting in reduced erosion to Crane Creek and Indian River Lagoon including stormwater pipe replacement. 

Tallwood Subdivision Drainage
Study to define solution to street flooding problems. 

Front Street/New Haven Drainage Study to define solution to street and property flooding problems.
